Frequently Asked Questions

Can I receive hard copies of the Annual Report and Standardized Equipment List (SEL)?
Yes. Please e-mail your request to the IAB Program Office at iab@battelle.org. Be sure to include the quantity and your mailing address with your request. We cannot ship to PO Boxes.

How do I become a member of the IAB?
To become an IAB member, you must be a state or local responder. We do not allow membership for contractors, vendors, manufacturers, etc. If interested, please submit a resume to the IAB Program Office at iab@battelle.org outlining which SubGroup/Committee you are interested in participating on. These listings can be viewed on the IAB Website: www.iab.gov. Once received, the Program Office will forward the resume to the appropriate Co-Chair. If the Co-chairs feel you are a good candidate for the SubGroup/Committee, you will then be contacted. There is a formal member candidate process one must go through before being eligible to be voted in for membership.

How do I register my product on the Standardized Equipment List (SEL)?
The SEL is a generic list of equipment and supplies and does not list any manufacturers, vendors, or specific products. You can contact the Responder Knowledge Base (RKB) at www.rkb.us to have your product listed on the site if it is not already.
